Feature on Demand Question

[Torv]

Now, having my Taycan 4S for just over a month, I'm wishing I added a couple of options. Where do I find the list of available Features on Demand for my car?

On the Porsche Connect website.

Thanks for that. Here's a screenshot of what I see when I log in. Am I to then assume there are no FoDs available for my specific VIN other than these?

I have not accessed it through my phone, but I can clearly see it on my laptop when open in a web browser.

You log into your "my.porsche.com" website account, and you'll see a menu on the top. Click on the word "SERVICES" and a list will appear ... your OTA / add-ons will appear at the very bottom under "RECOMMENDED SERVICES".

It's not very intuitive but that's how I found it.

Thanks. I did that and it looks to me like my options are limited to my screenshot. I was hoping to add the Innodrive option. Doesn't look possible.

It's not possible if you don't have ACC specced. Innodrive and ALK require the ACC hardware in order to function.

For example, my car came with ACC but I'm able to add Innodrive and ALK as options. I did the latter for my recent road trip (3 month trial).

I was doubly dumb! I didn't order the ACC, though I do have ALK. How do you like the Innodrive? Is it useful?

Are you sure you have ALK? I thought ALK requires ACC hardware, which would mean you have ACC. Note that ALK is different from LCA (Lane Change Assist) and LKA (Lane Keep Assist). ALK actively steers for you and follows lane lines.

I don't have Innodrive, I don't find value in it. I used ACC+ALK for 95% of my road trip up to the bay area and back. I find these kinds of things invaluable for long road trips in order to prevent fatigue. I reviewed ACC+ALK in my trip report, in case you missed it

You're 100% correct. I was confusing Lane Keep Assist with LCA. Way too many acronyms. It's an alphabet salad! Thanks for setting me straight.

I have found however that Auto Recuperation is a poor man's Adaptive Cruise Control because it senses the car in front of you.

Yeah, it sort of does, but with ACC you can take your foot off the pedal the entire time I just have it resting in the foot well, saving my ankle muscles.

If you have the eye of Sauron under your front bumper then you have ACC.

Nope. No cyclops here. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. C’est la vie.
